The bodies of a mother-daughter duo was found lying in two different coaches of a train that was parked at a yard near Shahadra railway station on Friday night. Police suspect that the duo was drugged to death as they found signs of frothing. However, an angle of suicide is also being probed.

The women were identified as Maya (50) and her daughter Nishu (30). "The local intelligence helped in identifying the two women. Both are residents of Bulandshehar in UP. Signs of frothing were found on both the bodies, and they have been sent for post-mortem," said a senior RPF officer.
